Why whenever Xbox does well in a area it has to become a nation bashing thread. Look you may think people in these places suck but do not bash the entire country. If you do then you come off as ignorant and worse then the people you are trying to hate.

[QUOTE="Sali217"][QUOTE="Mr720fan"]

People in here dont think casuals matter, stupidity, x1 is going to sell to a broader market than Sony

GOGOGOGURT

Until Soccer mom #1 goes to Gamestop and buys a used copy of CoD for little Jimmy. She brings it home, Jimmy is all excited, you can see the bliss on his face as he snatches the game from the bag. He gets to play his favorite game. He runs down the stairs opens up that familiar green case and pops the game into his Xbone. When suddenly a prompt comes up saying he needs to pay a fee to unlock his precious game. Jimmy runs up the stairs crying "Mommy, mommy, my game isn't working." Soccer mom #1 runs down the stairs and sees the ominous prompt up on the screen prompting for payment of the game she just bought. Soccer mom #1 is livid. "I JUST BOUGHT THIS GAME" her mind screams at her. "How dare they try and nickle and dime me. I spent my hard earned waitress tips to buy my little boy his favorite game. and now they want more!? Oh no." She drives back to the Walmart where she bought the console and screams at the manager for 30 minutes that she wants a refund. But the manager can only offer her in store credit. She takes the credit picks up a ps4 and drives back home to give jimmy his new DRM free console.

 

There is only a fee if you borrow a game from a friend, no fee if you buy used.  The misinformation you give is appalling.

 

EDIT:  Oh, sorry.  You already got owned.

 

Ok, replace Gamestop with Ebay in that example.

Cos of FIFA, the 360 was what everyone seemed to play it on.

I always knew that, but I assumed the anti-consumer measures and errant negativity surrounding the reveal would deter a few.

guess I was wrong, though if MS dont revise their used-games policy, it will be breaking the recor for the most traded-in consoles ever

Doesn't Amazon charts change all the time though? It is not even like it is saying it is breaking any record or anything like Asda and Blockbuster said for XBO. Heck even in your article the 360 is number 2.

Its going to hurt of peoples existence on here when x1 outsells the ps4, x1 is gonna rip apart ps4 in the the biggest market, and will do that from start to finish, sony lost the market, ms isnt doing the same

Typical Cow - "It's not fair at all since System Wars told me the XBO sucked and it would fail. There was even all these people posting pics of Kaz saying how much XBO was going to kill gaming. I hate this so much since System Wars reassured me Microsoft would fail and I hate Microsoft so much that is why I am a Sony fan"CanYouDiglt

 I thought by now people would understand all this preorder stuff doesn't mean anything.  We see it all the time with games.  We even saw it with the Wii U.

Example 2: GameStop: Wii U software pre-orders more than double those of the Wii's

The casuals preordering it probably don't realise there's a used game fee. Just see a console that will have Call of Duty on it. It was never going to fail regardless of how big of a piece of crap it will be if Microsoft keep their ridiculous policies.

My claim is purely empirical. Everyone I've met from the UK who plays FIFA on a regular basis plays on the 360. FIFA is massive in the UK. Do you have other evidence to explain why the 360 is the best selling console in the UK?

The Wii U had a lot of hype surrounding it after the announcement, it was the first next gen console, it just turned out to be shit. X1 will be good and have a solid launch lineup and huge third party, everyone can see that.
